Pro-independence protest takes place in Barcelona

Pro-independence groups Catalan National Assembly (ANC) and Omnium Cultural have called for a protest in Barcelona on Saturday, November 11, to call for the release of arrested Catalan officials and leaders since the region has started its push for independence. The Spanish government has charged several government and civic figures from Catalonia with rebellion, sedition and the misuse of public funds, including the former region’s President Carles Puigdemont, who fled the country after Madrid took control over Catalonia.
